1975 Yamaha XS650 B

Very original, great running Yamaha twin.

That XS650 right side crankcase cover is one of the prettiest (coolest) engine designs ever ..well the whole motor (tappet covers cool) too but that big ol alum unit crankcase clutch cover with the deep YAMAHA engraving is an industrial art masterpiece... not to mention screams 'flat track racer'

I had one just like it loved it put over 20000 miles on it. Wish I could find another.

The rattling comes from the starter release spring which was a recall and a part replacement which takes care of that noise.

I rode one of those 1980 to 1985. Lots of vibration, especially above 60 mph. Top speed 105 mph but my eyes were shaking so much it was hard to see. If the battery stops charging it likely needs new brushes for the alternator. The MT-07 is a modern version of this. Very good cornering back then likely even better with modern tires now.
